The album opens with the atmospheric track "Creepy Doll" by Jonathan Coulton, which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The haunting vocals and eerie melodies create an unsettling feeling that continues throughout the album.
The album features a mix of well-known and lesser-known artists, such as The Birthday Massacre, Collide, and Android Lust. Each artist brings their unique sound to the album, but all share a common thread of darkness and mystery.
